I have posted a couple weeks ago, since then I changed the soil to a cactus/succulent one and let her dry a bit.
All of the leave were previously falling, but it stopped since I changed the soil. But know all of it is dying, some parts dry some parts rotted.
What’s on top of the soil in the pot? How often is it watered? When’s the last time it was repotted?

Both the rotted roots and the dried out roots can produce the same symptoms above the soil. Rotted roots can’t do their job of delivering moisture and nutrients to the parts above the soil. Rotted roots are mostly dead. Dried out roots can’t do that job, either. Dried out roots are mostly dead, too.

Either way, there are both to the extreme one way or another if your roots were wet when you repotted wait 5 to 7 days to water and thats only if were very wet if moderately 3 days. Make sure there is sand in around the roots, and if it’s in potting soil, you need to repot it again as soon as you can. Do not use potting soil,topsoil or anything that says soil. You need sand, pearlite, pumice and grit, or gravel. You said it had leaves andother organic matter. Oak leaves have a lot of tannin pine needles have a lot of acidic quality and neither any good related for that cactus. You at the water to basically work like it doesn’t a bonsai go through get the roots wet and drain right the hell out you don’t want to sit there at all it don’t matter if you reparted it yesterday if you repotted it into soil you need to repart it again right now or today I’m into the right soil regardless of what you do those Roots need to be touching sand don’t fertilize it don’t water it after the 3 to 7 Days depending on how wet it was you don’t water it again for 2 weeks to a month just depending where you’re at and how my son it’s getting and all that good stuff

Hi there, I think you’re not doing too bad, everything here is manageable!
If she recently struggled with watering and still picking back up, that pot could perhaps be a tad too large? Roots like to snuggle together in the pot, and one that’s too large could lead to water stagnation… also that lady looks like a very nice succulent, is she getting enough sun? (Especially in the top part which needs to dry out between watering) also considering the region you’re in, if it’s winter, she should probably be watered only around once a month or every 3 weeks (unless you see she dries up real fast because of radiators or heaters).
I do also suggest you give her a bit of a trim on the yellowing branches (which you could also try and propagate in water so… yay new free plants!)
Best of luck ✨

Looks like it’s overwatered, has oedema, and was possibly exposed to some cool temps.

If your roots were rotten 2 weeks ago, the plant is not going to suddenly recover just because you reported, it’s going to take a long time to recover.
Also it’s entirely possible you are now underwatering since repotting it.

Looks like it’s time to trim off the green ends and put them in a glass of water to propagate! Then when those have roots, pot them and you’ll be good to go. If you’re worried about overwatering, get a terracotta pot – they will help evaporate excess water, where plastic won’t.

Are you giving it the max amount of light available in your home?
